Sustainability Plan & Impact

The Students' Union is continuously looking to become a truly sustainable organisation within all its operations including improving sustainability on campus, promoting biodiverse spaces and creating learning opportunities for both students and staff. 

Our sustainability impact.

• Successfully lobbying the University to fully divest from fossil fuels and armaments. 
• Successfully working with the Careers Service at the University to develop an Ethical Careers Policy. 
• Secured over £46,000 in funding for Cycling Infrastructure on campus
• Repeatedly achieved an Excellent classification for the Green Impact Award run through SOS-UK
• We introduced a new RATE Award cementing the Strategic Plan aim to embed sustainability in the curriculum
• Our recycling program has saved over 37 tonnes from being thrown into general waste since 2013. This has saved over 600 tonnes of CO2 emissions! 
• Ran an Interhall Energy competition, which saved over 25 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions and generated £1,000 in accommodation community funding and £4,822 of funding to be reinvested in to LED lighting.
